Common Goldeneye in flight

Yesterday morning I was very pleased to discover that my favourite pond for viewing  returning ducks had been almost clear ed of its surface ice. I like taking photos of ducks from my car at this location because my car can be parked on the road nearby and adjacent to the pond at this location. However the pair of Common Goldeneye present at the pond at that time saw mead I was watching them and the only picture I was able to get of them at the time was of their taking off in flight. I am especially pleased to have a good view of the female Goldeneye in flight.
